Scientists test VR goggles to regrow damaged eye nerves
NCT ID NCT07071129
Summary
This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) goggles for visual stimulation could help repair damaged optic nerves and improve vision in people with glaucoma or other retinal diseases. It involved 22 participants, including people with vision loss and healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if this non-invasive VR treatment could regenerate nerve connections from the eye to the brain, potentially restoring some lost vision.
